Su's parents didn't want to drag things out like this. Rather than wasting time and breath, they decided to lay everything out in the open and get rid of them as soon as possible.
My husband and I haven't planned to arrange any marriage for our daughter. We don't want to tie her down with unknowns or strangers. We've all been through this before, and we know that whether two people can live together depends on whether they get along.
A person's character cannot be clearly defined by words alone. My Ranran is still studying and learning medicine. She won't get married and have children anytime soon. Even if she does, she won't stay at home to serve her in-laws or raise children. Su's mother said these words firmly.
Su Xingran had told her parents that she wanted to take the college entrance exam and go to university. As for marriage and having children, she felt it was a matter of fate; she would consider it if she met the right person, but wouldn't settle for less. Furthermore, she wouldn't stay at home as a housewife; she had her own thoughts and opinions.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Su did not fully understand their daughter's thoughts and ideas—after all, the era and environment limited people's perspectives and ideas—they supported whatever their daughter wanted to do.
When Su's parents heard that Su Xingran would not stay at home to serve her in-laws, husband, and children after she got married, all three of them changed their expressions.
Especially the Zhang couple, after their son was married, they were expected to serve him and their son. They would work to earn work points and then manage the household chores, taking good care of the whole family.
If you marry a daughter-in-law like that yellow-haired girl from the Su family, it's not like you're marrying a daughter-in-law; it's like you're marrying an ancestor to worship.
The couple muttered and slandered Su Xingran's family in their hearts, saying that they planned to get the engagement, secure a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and use Su Xingran's master's powerful resources to eventually break off the engagement and get rid of Su Xingran.
"Oh my, Su family nephew and niece-in-law, what kind of woman gets married and doesn't stay home to serve her in-laws and husband? That's what women are supposed to do. You're spoiling your daughter like this. She won't be welcome in her husband's family, and she might even be divorced!" The matchmaker, Niu, said excitedly, gesturing with her fingers.
Aunt Niu, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, we have other things to do, so we won't keep you any longer. As for the matter of coming to propose marriage and get engaged, please pretend that we never mentioned it. Our children really don't know how to get engaged.
Children are too young to understand marriage, and as parents, we wouldn't force them to accept an arranged marriage. Your child is of marriageable age; they can find a suitable girl to marry.
The Su family's decision to send them away made all three of them lose face, especially the matchmaker, Niu. She considered herself the most powerful matchmaker in the surrounding area, and the villagers always treated her with utmost respect. Yet today, she had come to the Su family and was subjected to such humiliation.
The three wanted to say something more, but Su's father had already stood up, walked out of the courtyard, and opened the gate, making it clear that the three of them could leave.
Such a ruthless act embarrassed all three of them. The matchmaker, unable to bear the insult, stood up, snorted, and walked out of the house, crossing the doorway without looking back.
The remaining Zhang couple were too embarrassed to stay, so they picked up a small bag they had brought and slunk out of the Su family's gate.
Su's mother rolled her eyes. Who would dare to come to the door with just a small bag of things to propose marriage? They don't even know who they're trying to annoy.
